He was king of England from 1509 to 1547.
He inherited the throne from his father.
Henry was a negative influence, because if he did not get what he wanted he made it so he could. He wanted to get a divorce from his wife, because she was too old and no longer would have any more kids. The Pope would not annul his marriage, so he called Parliament into session and passed laws that took away the power of the Pope in England. The new laws allowed Henry to get divorced with Catherine, and later he married Anne Boleyn. Henry ends up having four more wives after Anne Boleyn.
He is most known for splitting from the catholic church.
He was a Protestant.
He had a big head. http://bonjourlafrance.net/france-facts/france-history/bourbon-dynasty.htm
